NBA Round up: Nikola Jokic’s 35 leads Nuggets, Jalen Brunson powers Knicks past Grizzlies, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s shines for OKC in November 12 six-game slate  

It was a night filled with statement performances and high-scoring showdowns across the league as six games lit up the NBA hardwood on Wednesday (November 12, 2025, PH time). From Nikola Jokic’s dominant outing to Jalen Brunson’s masterclass in New York, several stars took center stage in a busy midweek slate.

Jokic Dominates as Nuggets Roll Past Kings, 122–108

Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic once again proved why he’s the league’s most complete big man, finishing with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists to lead the Denver Nuggets to a convincing 122–108 win over the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center.

Denver outscored Sacramento 37–26 in the fourth quarter to seal their seventh win of the season. Domantas Sabonis led the Kings with 19 points and eight rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to counter the Nuggets’ balanced offense and late-game execution.

Brunson Leads Knicks Past Grizzlies in Offensive Showcase

At Madison Square Garden, Jalen Brunson put on a show for the home fans, dropping 32 points and 10 assists as the New York Knicks held off the Memphis Grizzlies, 133–120.

New York exploded for 42 first-quarter points and maintained control despite a late push from Memphis. Santi Aldama led the Grizzlies with 19 points and seven rebounds, but the Knicks’ hot shooting and Brunson’s leadership carried them to their seventh win of the campaign.

Thunder Storm Past Warriors Behind Gilgeous-Alexander

The Oklahoma City Thunder delivered one of their most dominant performances of the season, crushing the Golden State Warriors, 126–102, behind another brilliant game from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

SGA filled the stat sheet with 28 points, 11 assists, and three steals, leading a thunderous third-quarter surge that saw OKC outscore the Warriors 44–28. Jimmy Butler III paced Golden State with 12 points and three steals, but the Dubs had no answer for the Thunder’s relentless pace and ball movement.

Markkanen, Jazz Erupt for 152 Points Against Pacers

In the highest-scoring game of the night, Lauri Markkanen led a blistering offensive display with 35 points as the Utah Jazz overwhelmed the Indiana Pacers, 152–128, at the Delta Center.

Utah’s offense was on fire from the opening tip, putting up 38 points in the first quarter and never looking back. Pascal Siakam had 27 points for the Pacers, but the Jazz’s depth and hot shooting proved too much to handle.

Raptors Outlast Nets Behind Quickley’s All-Around Game

In Brooklyn, Immanuel Quickley starred with 24 points and eight rebounds, propelling the Toronto Raptors past the Brooklyn Nets, 119–109, at the Barclays Center.

 The Raptors used a balanced attack to overcome a 30-point first quarter from Brooklyn and tightened up defensively in the second frame to seize control. Nic Claxton led the Nets with 21 points and eight rebounds, but Toronto’s energy on both ends proved decisive.

76ers Edge Celtics in Nail-Biter

In one of the night’s tightest contests, the Philadelphia 76ers held off the Boston Celtics, 102–100, in a tense showdown at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

 Jaden Edwards paced the Sixers with 22 points, while Jaylen Brown had 24 points and six rebounds in a losing effort. Philadelphia used a strong fourth-quarter surge—outscoring Boston 31–23—to escape with the narrow win and improve to 7–4 on the season.
